Patch 3 provides target support for the VWCNP flag, but the host driver
wouldn't check it without this patch. I'm assuming that's why this patch
is included here: so both sides can be tested.

But if you have the time to review a different patchset, I would prefer
we get nvmet up to 2.1 compliance and restrict this identification to
2.0 and above where it's required.
